35-year old Pushpakaran worked at the Vallikunnam police station and was the mother of three children and her husband works in the Middle East. On that fateful day, Pushapakaran was returning home at around 4 pm on her scooter after completing her duty with student police cadet members in a nearby school. The accused was waiting for her in a rented car for the right opportunity. When the victim reached near her house, he rammed his car into her scooter, knocking down the victim.
He chased her to a neighbouring house carrying petrol and machete with him. He first brutally stabbed the victim and then poured petrol on her and set her on fire.
